| 0:11.6 | We're just not, okay? |
| 0:13.0 | You know, men competing in women's sports, that just doesn't make any sense to the average person who is independent |
| 0:20.6 | because to win, |
| 0:22.0 | you need the independent and the libertarian voters, right? And maybe some of the disgruntled Republican |
| 0:26.9 | voters. You need them to kind of flip a little bit, but you need the independent. Yes, you'll get |
